Figure skating fans?

Is anyone else a big figure skating fan? I watched the US Championship last weekend and WOW! Jason Brown is fabulous to watch. What a great skater and so young. I'm so excited to watch the Olympics. Gracie Gold's program was just magical as well.

Re: Figure skating fans?

I love to watch figure skating. I was chatting with another coworker this morning...her son competitively skates and knows 2 who are attending the Olympics in Sochi. [they used to train at the same facility]

Re: Figure skating fans?

I watched the free skate of the European championships yesterday and I just didn't think anyone skated up to the level of Gracie Gold on the women's side. On the men's side it was just one big jump fest. Who cares if no one likes watching you skate from one jump to the next, gotta try three quads! I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed with Olympic scoring.

I did feel that the US women exhibited a lot more stamina than their European counterparts. The Europeans all looked very tired by the end of their free skate.

Re: Figure skating fans?

I've had a hard time finding coverage. The ICE network wants me to pay 50 dollars to watch their videos. Uh. no. My cable is terrible at finding it unless I look like 2 days before its on, which is never when the competition is actually on. So it's hard to find. At least with the Olympics I'll get some coverage, even if I do have to watch speed skating, biathalon, and curling No offense to any of those fans meant, of course.
